About this event

What does the future of Diversity and Inclusion look like for Swedish companies? What are the challenges and opportunities for businesses who want to hire, support, and scale diverse workforces? On 8 December, we're launching the Alva Breakfast Series with an in-person panel discussion on this critical topic with three local experts on the topic:

  • Sam Joukhadar, Global Head of Talent Acquisition at SEB 
  • Aida Faiz, CEO of Venoxa, a company dedicated to helping skilled immigrants break into the Swedish job market
  • Hira Wasif, Behavioral Scientist and Customer Success Manager at Alva Labs

This event will be moderated by Tove Hernlund, the host of Alva's webinar series.
